Southern California's most adorable annual tradition is back — and this year it's going tropical! Spring Corgi Beach Day returns to the iconic Huntington Beach Pier on April 4th with a Tiki theme that promises to be the most festive, colorful, and tail-wagging good time yet.
Whether you're a Corgi Beach Day veteran or bringing your pup for the very first time, here's everything you need to know to make the most of this incredible community event.
What is Corgi Beach Day?
Corgi Beach Day is one of Southern California's most beloved dog-friendly community events. Hundreds of Corgi owners and their fluffy, short-legged companions gather on the sand at Huntington Beach for a day of sun, surf, socializing, and seriously adorable photo opportunities.
What started as a small local meetup has grown into a massive celebration of the Corgi community — drawing dog lovers from across Los Angeles, Orange County, and beyond. If you've never seen hundreds of Corgis running on the beach together, prepare yourself. It's exactly as magical as it sounds.
This Year's Theme: TIKI 🌴🔥
Spring 2026 is going full tiki and we are here for it. Think tropical flowers, bamboo tiki torches, coconut drinks, Hawaiian leis, and of course — the fluffiest, happiest Corgis in all of Southern California dressed in their most festive tropical gear.
The Tiki theme gives pet owners a fantastic opportunity to get creative with their pup's look. Floral collars, tropical bandanas, miniature leis — the sky's the limit when it comes to dressing your Corgi for the occasion.

Tips for a Great Corgi Beach Day
Start early. Huntington Beach gets busy on spring weekends and Corgi Beach Day draws a serious crowd. Arrive early to claim a good spot on the sand and let your pup settle in before the excitement peaks.
Keep your Corgi hydrated. A big day on the beach means lots of running, playing, and socializing — which means your pup is going to need plenty of water. Pack a portable water bottle and snacks to keep your Corgi fueled and happy throughout the day. Our 2-in-1 Portable Dog Water Bottle & Food Container from Paws & Pockets is perfect for exactly this kind of adventure — lightweight, leak-proof, and easy to carry on the sand.
Protect those paws. Huntington Beach sand can get warm on sunny spring days. Check the sand temperature before letting your Corgi run freely and take breaks in shaded areas when needed.
Dress for the theme. This is a Tiki party — embrace it! Floral collars, tropical accessories, and festive gear are highly encouraged. Your Corgi will thank you when they're the most photographed pup on the beach.
Bring a camera. Seriously. You are going to want to document every single moment of this day. Hundreds of Corgis on a California beach at golden hour is a photography dream.
Be social. Corgi Beach Day is as much about the human community as it is about the dogs. Strike up conversations, share tips, and enjoy the incredible energy of being surrounded by fellow Corgi lovers.
